Chapter 186: The Tale of the Bandits in Meridian Mountain (Part II)
"Stop." Wang Ju gestured and said.
All 300 soldiers stopped.
Wang Ju glanced at everyone, and everyone looked calm or excited, but they were not worried.
The main opponent is too weak, less than a hundred, so everyone is not afraid. This feeling must be wrong, if the competition can be won by numbers, the people of the Central Plains will not be harmed by the nomads again and again. There are not too many examples of ancient and modern exchanges of winning more with less, but there is no need to talk about this.
Wang Ju looked up at the peak again.
Whether or not they can take down this group of mountain bandits with the least casualties mainly depends on Qin Hai and their expressions.
This battle was nothing, first Yelong Basheng entered the mountain to inquire for a long time, and then Zhang Kai and Zhao Dajing directly entered the interior of the mountain bandits.
Almost all of the terrain personnel are well known, but they just say it through the mouth of the wild dragon.
The next crackdown on bandits is the time to really train scouts. Train your troops in battle!
When it comes to the real battlefield, in this vast mountain, the scouts must find the enemy's main force and judge the enemy's whereabouts, which is called the real difficulty.
Therefore, Wang Ju attaches more importance to scouts than Yao Ji.
If it weren't for Sun Wei's sudden arrival, he would have planned to reorganize several battalions in Huachi and set up a battalion to step on the White Army.
Treading white is not called stepping white, at this time the sound is treading wave treading thin, thin means that the grass and trees are thick, intertwined, and cannot be entered. Because of the dense vegetation and the easy ambush of the enemy, the word tabai is combined to check the enemy's ambush.
That's why the Tang Dynasty called the scout army the white army.
The Song Dynasty disappeared, and it wasn't until Yue Fei that he officially reset a powerful Tabai army.
At present, there are no camps or separate teams, but the training is basically gradually moving closer to the real white army.
Fifty people were running on the top of the mountain, and their boots made a slight noise on the rocks, but the morning breeze gradually rose, and the waves were loud, and the footsteps were well disguised.
Gradually, they came to the outpost, and dozens of people stopped.
Qin Hai looked at the sky, and the morning star began to rise in the sky, but the sky was not yet bright, and it was the last moment of darkness of the dawn.
"Whisper."
Dozens crept close to the outpost, where two bandits patrolled to the north, but they were obviously perfunctory, and they could not be called patrols, but they stood there, leaning against the wall and looking at the north side of the hill and napping.
"Good opportunity." Qin Hai said in his heart, and then made a gesture.
Dozens of people rushed up, and the two of them woke up, but Qin Hai and several of them had already pounced in front of them, and before they could shout, they were hacked to death with knives. Another group of people pushed open the door and broke in.
Some people also woke up, but Qin Hai and them were very fast, and they were killed one by one. Despite the screams, the post was easily taken.
"Put on the torch."
One man lit a torch and threw it down the hill.
"Up." Wang Ju shouted.
The screams of the outpost also alarmed the mountain bandits in the cottage.
"All the sentry is in order!" Yang Si immediately put on his clothes and rushed towards the mountain with a part of the mountain bandits.
However, they reacted too late, and Wang Ju had already arrived at the peak with hundreds of officers and soldiers. He glanced down the hill and then at the outpost, which was rudimentary, but the north side of the outpost was filled with hundreds of stones.
The soldiers looked at these stones, and they were all in a cold sweat.
Can't underestimate these nearly 100 mountain bandits, if they don't take down the outpost in advance, even these stones will let everyone drink a pot.
"Ready for battle." Wang Ju said.
This march, a total of four troops, one way is Qin Hai they go out first, and all the way to wait under the cliff, this rope is also very troublesome to put away, and the time is too late, so some troops are divided to come, if there are escaped mountain bandits down the rope, just to be an arrow target.
The remaining two roads are the main army, one is surrounded by Yao Ji from the front, or attack, and the other is led by Wang Ju, who first climbs to the top of the mountain and takes this important place. It's not that Wang Ju grabbed the merit, the task in the south is heavier, except for the open land in front of the wall, the outside is dense mountain forest, which is easy for mountain bandits to rush into the mountain forest and escape. This requires strong scheduling capabilities to complete.
Yang Si took more than forty people and gradually approached the peak.
Wang Ju looked at them indifferently, seeing that there were only thirty or forty steps, Yang Si had already raised his bow and arrows, ready to shoot first, Wang Ju shouted: "Shoot." ”
Hundreds of arrows flew out.
With just a flick of arrows, most of the bandits fell in half. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest shouted: "The officers and soldiers are strong, flee quickly." ”
Together, they turned their heads and fled down the mountain.
Wang Ju was very dissatisfied and asked, "Why don't you aim and then release the arrow?" ”
This situation is a bit complicated, the peak is so big, although the number of people who came up from the Song army was large, but they could not stand in formation and shoot arrows, there were many trees on the mountain, and some mountain bandits were clever, hiding behind the trees, and they were not shot.
However, it is true that everyone lacks actual combat experience, which allowed more than a dozen mountain bandits to escape from the mountain. But some of the mountain bandits who were shot were shot as hedgehogs, and some were only shot with one arrow.
"Hack them all to death, wait for dawn."
Hundreds of officers and men rushed down the hill, not too far, but only killed some of the wounded and then retreated.
Yang Si also escaped alive, and hurriedly fled to the cottage, shouting: "Prepare to escape." ”
"It's not good, there are officers and soldiers under the mountain." A mountain bandit came in to report it.
Yao Ji also heard the sound of battle on the mountain, and with an order, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers lit torches together, blocking the way to the cottage in dense numbers.
"Rush out." Yang Si shouted in a panic, he didn't even want the goods in the cottage, and rushed out with the rest of the mountain bandits.
Yao Ji climbed a big tree, stood on the tree, did not use the flag to command, the sky was not yet bright, the flag was not visible, so he held a big torch as a banner to command.
Arrows kept flying out of the woods.
Just after a while, Yang Si shouted again: "Retreat." ”
This is not a breakthrough, but a death.
The mountain bandits retreated to the cottage, and Yang Si asked again and again, "What should I do?" What to do? ”
"What about Qin Saburo?"
"No one saw them, they were killed by random arrows when they broke through just now." A mountain bandit said.
"Why did the officers and soldiers go into the mountains?"
"It may be that the Feng family reported the case."
"Feng family, let's rush out and kill this Feng family to death. These dog officials are really not good things. ”
There was chaos in the cottage, and the morning glow finally appeared on the horizon, Wang Ju said: "It's almost time, Qin Hai, you continue to stay here with fifty people, remember, no one is allowed to escape." ”
"Whoa."
Wang Ju took the rest of the officers and soldiers to slowly press towards the cottage.
Seeing the officers and soldiers coming condescendingly in the cottage, it was even more chaotic.
Yang Si said: "Push those women out." ”
The mountain bandits pushed out more than a dozen women, all of whom were women from good families captured by Yang Si and them, but they were locked up in the mountains and tortured to the point that they were not human.
"Use them as shields to keep in front of you."
"What should I do?" Commander Zhou asked.
If Wang Ju wasn't there, Yao Ji might not care, but he couldn't figure out Wang Ju's thoughts, so he thought about it and said, "Change the formation." ”
Seeing that Song Jun didn't release the arrows, Yang Si laughed: "Come on, there is a kind of arrow." ”
There was no sound in the woods.
Yang Si led his men with knives around the necks of these women and rushed down the mountain.
He was wrong, if there were fifty or sixty women in the village, each of whom could have one woman as a hostage, and then spread out and rushed down the mountain, Yao Ji might have a headache. But with only a dozen women as hostages, Yao Ji was not afraid at all.
As they carried the women and rushed down the mountain, the forest began to change formations, and the figures kept shaking, and more than two dozen gangsters were let in. Yao Yan swung the torch down fiercely, and the arrow flew again, and at the same time, the ambush soldiers in the forest rushed towards the two dozen mountain bandits.
There are too many troops, and there are more than a thousand people in the Song army here, where do you want to escape?
Some soldiers jumped from the trees, and some rushed out of the woods.
Only one woman was killed by a crazed bandit, and the rest were killed or surrendered. Including Yang Si was also surrounded by twenty Song soldiers, although he was outstanding in martial arts, he cut and injured several Song soldiers, and was finally hacked to death by Random Blade.
"Kill, leave no one." Yao said.
Surrender is not enough, kill them all. In an instant, only about 30 bandits escaped back to the cottage, and all the rest were killed.
"Xie Dutou, take ten brothers to the rear and set these women up."
"Whoa."
Yao Ji continued to mobilize soldiers and horses, and did not attack the village, but continued to surround the front of the cottage layer by layer.
Wang Ju had already come to the back of the cottage with his soldiers and horses.
"Prepare to hit the wood." Wang Ju gave the first order.
Dozens of Song soldiers pulled out the axes behind them, picked a few rough cedars and cut them down.
After a while, a few trees will be cut down.
"Shield protection, the archers divide into three rows to protect after free, and hit the fence with ramming wood." Wang Ju ordered.
The front of the cottage is difficult to overcome, the terrain is too dangerous, but there is no advantage of the terrain behind, and the wall is very short, only barely one person high, and most of it is a fence.
Nearly a hundred Song soldiers rushed towards the fences with bumping logs, each soldier protected by a shield. The rest of the Song army bent their bows and arrows and radiated behind the wall.
From time to time, screams could be heard from behind the wall.
The bows and arrows were too dense, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were firing arrows, and they were divided into three rows, and one arrow after another pressed towards the wall almost non-stop.
Several thick ramming logs slammed into the fence, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a weak fence had slammed into a gap.
"Rush in."
The Song army killed through the gap, and these mountain bandits lost the courage to fight, some jumped off the wall and fled to the mountain, and some surrendered.
Yao also began to give orders, sending two generals into the village to support, and the rest remained still, surrounding the mountain to the ground. The deeper meaning is something he never dreamed of, but Wang Ju's first reason is enough, once he has more life and is escorted to Gyeongju, Sun Wei interrogated, things may be big, and it will also affect the future private businessmen, which are not private businessmen, but weapons and armor for a strong army. And other mountain bandits may be willing, but none of these mountain bandits can be spared, and they have done too much evil.
Wang Ju glanced at the dozen or so captives, then looked at the dozen or so mountain bandits who fled to the top of the mountain, and said: "Leave five teams of soldiers and horses to guard, count the goods in the village, and continue to clean up the rest of the mountain, but everyone should be careful, these dozen or so people would rather die than surrender, they are all outlaws." ”
That's reasonable, but everyone is giggling, no matter how outlaws are, they can't stand the crowd, so many soldiers can't even deal with a dozen gangsters, so dare to live in vain.
In fact, the big picture has been decided.
But Wang Ju's eyes stared at one place strangely, and he saw that there was a small Taoist temple in the cottage, and there was a pair of couplets hanging on both sides of the Taoist temple: the sky has no way for the Tao, and all things are ruthless.
There is another horizontal batch: Sanqing is on top.
